Odds & Ends: Twins, Rockies, Yankees

The Twins are looking for a setup man who can provide good control. Internally, it's a big deal for them.

The Rockies could wind up dumping contracts midseason if they find themselves out of contention. Price quotes one exec saying, "Unless they move ($3.5-million salaried backup catcher Yorvit) Torrealba, they're not taking on any money."

The Mariners say no player is untouchable. The M's are seeking "athletes" says Price.

Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill will get the last two spots in Oakland's rotation.

The Padres are "dying for pitching" and "will claim anybody" on waivers, says Price.

If Cody Ransom gets exposed by playing on a daily basis, then the Yankees may need a stopgap to fill third base until Alex Rodriguez's mid-may return.
